English is a prima facie case of high significance in the academic milieu. Therefore, the researchers attempted to understand students' performance, participation, and willingness to communicate; however, students’ silence in English as second language (L2) has received little attention leaving a chasm for investigation. Thus, this study aimed to explore the factors underlying students’ silence, and to uncover the dynamics of interaction of these factors in L2 classroom. To answer research questions, the pragmatist explanatory sequential design was adopted. The participant selection rested on silent student identification through quantitative survey results, and then interviews were conducted with the selected participants. The findings suggested that anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, lack of L2 knowledge, and first language interference impact students’ participation in L2 classroom resulting in silence. These problems directly affect students' speaking proficiency, speaking with confidence, and participating in L2 activities. This implies that the students need appropriate training of L2. Moreover, the innovative teaching methods may prove instrumental in developing students’ motivation to initiate active participation in L2, a conducive classroom environment creates a supportive culture for mustering courage to participate in L2 discussion without being belittled by the peers or teacher that may cause fear, anxiety, lack of confidence, and feelings of demotivation among learners which may limit learning experience in L2. Future research may focus on the instructor’s perspective to comprehend students’ in L2 classroom. The parental role in family structure, home psychology, and home sociology may induces silence. Mores studies may opt for cross sectional and longitudinal investigations. Keywords: silence, confidence, L2 classroom, medical students, Government College

This paper constructs a Chinese speech evaluation system based on the characteristics of the vocal mechanism of Chinese speech and uses the detection framework of statistical speech recognition to realize the automatic detection function of pronunciation bias. Assuming that the amplitude spectra of speech and noise obey the generalized Gamma distribution and Gaussian distribution, respectively, the MMSE estimator of the logarithmic spectrum of the speech signal is derived. The speech presence probability under the generalized Gamma speech model is derived as a correction to the MMSE estimation based on language evolution and diversity features. The correct recognition rate of the proposed algorithm reaches 64%, which indicates that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress the interference of convolutional noise on the speech signal features and improve the subjective perceptual quality of diverse languages.
